"RARA was founded to meet the needs of the gay/lesbian community. Our
purpose, as defined in the RARA Constitution is as follows:

To promote the Amateur Radio Service
To foster friendship and goodwill
To offer benefits, support and a sense of community to all individuals
who are supportive of sexual minorities and their lifestyles, and who
share a common interest in Amateur Radio."




Great, gay amateur radio operators.

Gays, they wish to integrate with society by segregating themselves.

Makes sense to me (not!). They are ruining the English language by
identifying common words with their causes. One would believe that the
"Rainbow Coalition" was gay blacks, but it's not.

A local situation developed in which a woman referred to the perpetrator
as colored. The host on the news intimated that the woman was racist
since she use the term colored. Colored was in common usage at one time,
so one would expect older people to use it. It was supplanted by "people
of color".

"People of color" is the correct usage for "colored people", but one
usage is regarded as racist, one isn't.

The adulteration of the English language continues.
